After Anti-Bullying Video Goes Viral, Keaton Jones’ Mom Is Outed As A Racist

Well, if this isn't the most 2017 thing to happen yet. Keaton Jones went viral for a heartbreaking video about being bullied at school. It really is the saddest goddamn thing, and our hearts break for him. Celebs and athletes rallied around Keaton, offering support, kind words, and some pretty amazing opportunities. But now, in an ironic turn of events, internet sleuths have uncovered some racist shit on the social media accounts of Keaton Jones' mom, Kimberly.

Nice things, we don't deserve them.

Keaton Jones' mom Kimberly recorded and posted the video of her son. But maybe, JUST MAYBE, she should have wiped her social media accounts first. This is the internet, Kimberly. We find shit out on here.

That viral video of #KeatonJones talking about being bullied is heartbreaking, and I feel sympathetic towards that child. But his mom, Kimberly on the other hand, is a suspected racist who makes very problematic posts bullying Black protesters #TheIronypic.twitter.com/NUhidunP8z

It shouldn't be surprising that people found this stuff. It was all over her social media, before she locked them down. But the irony of a racist sharing a video about her son being bullied is ... almost too much.

Kimberly's accounts had posts about protesting athletes and Confederate flags, and not in the way you'd hope. Nope, she was all about that flag! Posed next to it and posted a picture of a kid holding it. Peak 2017, right here.

MMA Fighter Joe Schilling also posted an exchange he had with someone purporting to be Keaton Jones' mom. To be clear, we don't know if it's her. But nothing would surprise us, tbh.

It should be noted that LOTS of black celebrities and athletes tweeted and retweeted Keaton's video. They came out with such a show of support for him, it was amazing. And this is not to take away, AT ALL, from what Keaton has gone through. No kid deserves to be bullied, and you could absolutely hear the pain in his voice as he described the crap he goes through. It's disgusting that he's bullied, and it's disgusting that his mom appears to be a racist (which, when you get down to it, is the worst kind of fucking bully).

A GoFundMe was set up for Keaton and his family, and it raised more than $58k in two days. At the time of this publication, it was closed and no longer accepting donations.

There are a few lessons to be learned here. First, don't be a fucking racist. Second, if you're a racist, don't try to scam people out of money by exploiting your child. And third, if you do the first two, for fuck's sake, wipe your social media first.
